Supermarket Asda is donating 250 gifts to Marie Curie nurses who gave up their own family Christmas to care for terminally ill people over Christmas and the New Year.
Gifts include luxury bouquets of flowers and an Olay Double Action Day Cream.
Lisa Burnett, head of Asda in the Community, said: “We are delighted to offer a festive thank you to the wonderful Marie Curie Nurses whose care and dedication meant someone with a terminal illness could spend their last Christmas at home. These nurses put so much hard work and dedication into caring for patients and their families that we wanted to say thank you at a special time of year.”
Every nurse who gives availability to work over Christmas or the New Year will have their names put into a hat. Those drawn will have the gift delivered to their door by asda.com The draw will take place tomorrow.
